Okay, I removed this for being trope misuse before I realised this has been Edit Warred in the past (other people have removed it for trope misuse, but it keeps being added back).
My full edit reason for removing it:

Trope misuse; the entries are Out of Focus events which is not what the trope is about. It's for situations where the character is relevant to the plot but for some real life reason, the character cannot be written into the scenes their character should be involved in. For example, if an episode was focussed on the Schnee family mansion, with the plot centring on Weiss's imprisonment, loss of inheritance and desire to escape... but Weiss didn't appear in the episode at all, that might possibly be a candidate for this trope.

Query about the following. If this was Actor Allusion wouldn't it mean that the reason Casey and her mother are singing the song be because something happened in their lives that the lyrics are connected to? As far as I know, they duet the song because they happen to be a mother/daughter singing team, which gives extra characterisation to a song that's about a mother and daughter. Wouldn't that be the opposite of the Actor Allusion trope?

Brought to the Discussion page the following What Could Have Been entries; no matter how calmly worded any example might be, the source is biased, unverified and this wiki has rules about importing drama. No matter what the truth of Shane's letter may or may not be, using its contents on this wiki would be importing drama. I think the wisest course of action is for all of us to avoid trying to pull any tropes out of his letter.

According to Shane's letter, Volume 3 would have had:

Raven was supposed to fight Team JNPR suddenly in a cafe, her reasons unknown.

Winter Schnee was supposedly designed with Monty's wife in mind for both design and voice.

Yang vs. Adam was supposed to happen in Volume 3 and not be the life-altering Curb-Stomp Battle it ended up being.
